UNITED STATES AUGUST NELSON. OF HOT METALLURGICAL COMPOSITION AND MET Application filed February This invention relates to a metallurgical composition and method 01" using the same. In carrying out the invention, I mix six pounds of pulverized quartz rock and two quarts of water and minutes. residual quartz rock cooled, I add one-half boil the same for thirty I then strain the liquid from the and after the filtrate is pint of syrup made from water and granulated sugar. Syrup,

molasses, honey substance 18 the or any similar saccharine equlvalent of the sugar.

The resulting solution is allowed to stand for a period of ten days and at the expiration of that time, I add to the solution which now consists of about one quart) one and one-half ounces of muriatic acid. then ready to be used for The solution the tempering is of iron and converting the same into steel.

In using the solution the iron is heated a cherry red or White heat, and then plunged into the solution. to the iron 1s The hardness imparted determined by the degree of heat imparted to the iron before its immersion, and the length of time it remains in the solution.

It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the use of the par portions recited or the several ticular pro ingredients named since these may be varied in minor respects whlle still retaining all of the advantages of the process.

Consequently it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the precise proportions or man ner of use hereinbefore it includes within its changes spirit of Having set forth, but that purview whatever fairly come within the terms or the the appended claims.
